Answers

The Half Link chain can be beneficial to bike/gear setups where having the rear wheel 'slammed' in the dropouts does not allow for the chain to travel around the driver 'neatly'. However due to the design, the plates bend straight and the chain will stretch much quicker and ultimately break.

The full link chain is the stronger option but not ideal for all bike/gear setups; should you require a specific chain length for wheel placement then you could run just the one half link within the full link chain.

As far as i know dura ace 10 speed chains are the most reliable chains in terms of rust resistant due to its coating and build quality, so if i were to use it on my 8 speed drive chain with HG41 8 speed cassette, would there be too much of a problem because of the narrow links on the chain?

The Shimano MTB 11 speed chains are not usable with road groups and likewise with Shimano road 11 speed chains on MTB groups.That said, they may work but not as smoothly as the correct chain/groups combo.
